The Villain Changed the Ending

Chapter 99

099 Ex-wife and current wife

***[Catherine, Duchess]***

It’s strange.

“…”

love is heart

If the mind is mutual, shouldn’t something change next?

Not too long ago, her love had been walking straight ahead, alone and in a straight line.

It was a one-way street.

But now it’s both ways.

Both I and the other person loved each other and were loved.

Then, after that, really something like this… so sweet something… something… Key, key, kiss… Anyway, I think it should be different.

But nothing changed.

It was still the same throughout the long period of carriage travel, and even now when they arrived at the royal residence.

All the same, only she seems to be shy, only she seems to like her, and only her love seems so great.

Because I feel that Oscar’s eyes and voice have somehow become sweeter, my shame grows bigger, and the distance between the two of them grows further.

It’s nothing like kissing!

Struggling alone, Katrin suddenly raised her face.

“…”

I hope I wasn’t dreaming alone.

no, it’s a dream

Didn’t you get a confession of love?

Are you dreaming?

No, no, I really heard it.

It was a small voice, but he said he loved me.

Others saw the scene, too, and were subtly congratulated afterwards.

Anne was also delighted.

He also remembers that his own tears were all over Oscar’s clothes.

“I saw it too. It’s not a dream.”

When did you come in, Anne said with a calm face.

“Right? But why hasn’t anything changed? Me, I haven’t really kissed yet, but that, tongue-in-cheek guy. I think Oscar-sama is just the same.”

When I asked with a tilt of my head, Anne coughed loudly.

“By the way, there’s something I need to point out here. In fact, all I and others saw was the young lady, no, the wife jumping into the Duke’s arms and crying. After that, the wife said that she confessed. “

“What do you want to say, Annie?”

“So, maybe the duke’s confession was your wife’s imagination.”

“… no way.”

It seems that all the blood drains from his face. I think you know how pale your face is.

“But.”

This time Anne tilted her head.

“Certainly, the atmosphere of the duke’s treatment of his wife seems to have changed a little. Should I say that he has become softer? It’s very rare, but he suddenly looks at his wife with a very soft and strange expression.”

“okay?”

“Yes. Mainly when your wife isn’t looking, but what to say, you look really indescribably weird.”

“It’s a strange look, so it seems like it’s weird in a bad way.”

Katrin said that and let out a long sigh.

“So, I think I will kiss after I become a grandmother.”

“I also need a weak medicine.”

“…”

I thought I didn’t need it.

If our hearts are connected and we love each other, I think there is no need for aphrodisiacs.

but it is necessary

“ha.”

Catherine let out a small breath, and Anne let out an equally long sigh.

“I heard that all other men are beasts, so why did the two of us meet a herbivorous man like a rabbit?

“I know.”

But I heard that Anne kissed her too, hahahaha, why me.

Thinking so, I really let out a sigh.

‘Unlike Anne, I’m already married.’

It is a cliff in the mountains where the future is dark.

Anne brought her face closer and whispered as if she were telling a secret.

“I remembered it when I said it was a beast, but rumors say that Prince Robert attacked the baroness girl like a beast.”

“what?”

“Everybody’s hushed up, but from what I heard upon arrival here, it seems like a lot of rumors have spread.”

“He’s the crown prince? I can’t imagine someone with that position.”

“It’s a little hard to believe for me too, but it might be true since they say they’re really welcoming me as concubines.”

“That brute force, I wish Oscar-sama resembles only half of it.”

“Me too.”

A sigh came out of both of their mouths at the same time.

Just then, a woman her mother had assigned to her as a counselor came in.

No, I think the term watchman is more accurate.

If Catherine’s behavior tries to deviate from the Duchess, she secretly catches her, helps her respond to banquets and meetings, and, well, takes care of things like that.

The wife bowed slightly and opened her mouth.

“Countess Becker is scheduled to visit this afternoon. I’m sorry I couldn’t rest enough after a long trip, but I decided to visit you today because we need to discuss the New Year’s banquet. Is it?”

my aunt!

Catherine straightened her back and lowered her gaze.

“No matter how tired you are, you can’t be lazy to work for me. Let’s meet together.”

“I see, ma’am.”

The counselor’s wife smiled and left the room.

As soon as she left, Anne looked at Katrin in a fuss.

“It’s your chance, ma’am!”

“Yes, no.”

This time, let’s ask my aunt to take us to the aphrodisiac shop.

If we entrust our relationship to Oscar, we will only kiss as adults when we become grandmothers.

‘Then when will he give birth to an heir?’

Katrin’s fists were full of strength.

But even after my aunt came that evening, I couldn’t find a second to talk about it.

My aunt came the next day and the next day, but it was the same.

‘Oh, this isn’t it.’

While I was swimming, I couldn’t even bring up the story of aphrodisiac, but the days passed in an instant.

***[Heroine Oscar]***

It was a few days before the New Year when I arrived at the capital.

This year it is much later than last year because of the snow.

Other families seem to be in a similar situation.

As we arrived late, the people preparing the banquet are also busy.

Catherine’s dress this year has been prepared by the Duchy.

I ordered only some trendy accessories here, so there is nothing special about hers, but in my case, the royal road also matched some clothes.

I make rough preparations in advance with samples I made last year, and when I arrive, the designer quickly adjusts the details.

But this year, time was so short that such adjustments had to be made very quickly.

Thanks to this, the designer’s eyes are already red because he couldn’t sleep.

“I’m sorry I’m so pressed for work.”

“No, Duke. Rather, I miss the old days.”

The designer with her hair up elegantly smiles shyly.

She is the maid who took care of my clothes and mended them when I first came to the capital a long time ago.

Now he has become a famous designer with a shop in the royal capital.

I heard that her clothes are so beautiful and elegant that they are very popular.

Even high-ranking aristocrats must make reservations in advance to be able to schedule an interview.

It was because of the support of the duchy, but it was because of her own skills that she was so outstanding.

The face of the designer who was touching the clothes suddenly blurred.

She hesitated a bit, looked around, and spoke in a low voice so only I could hear.

“I… Duke, there is something I’m a little worried about.”

“What’s the matter?”

She stopped talking and bit her lip.

“…”

“Tell me.”

“That… A few months ago, an attendant of someone visited our store. He ordered a dress as a gift for a woman, and that was…”

The designer further reduced his voice and continued.

“It’s similar to the one I made last year. You ordered almost the same fabric and design.”

“…”

“It’s not unusual since the dress is in vogue these days. I’ve been ordered to similar dresses many times, so I didn’t think much of it, but when I visited to check the woman’s measurements, I found that the woman I had made the other day She was a very similar woman.”

This designer is the one who made Catherine’s debut dress.

So, if I were to say the wife she was talking about, it would be Catherine.

‘Is it the story of the crown prince and the baroness girl?’

Thinking so, she looked around.

There are only me and her in the room, and an attendant at the door.

Even knowing that, it was strange to see her cautiously checking everywhere.

It seems that there is still something left to tell.

As I waited, the designer lowered his eyes slightly and continued.

“There’s not just one woman I’ve met after receiving an order from the same person. There were three in all.”

“When is the story?”

“The man’s first visit was before the fall.”

This is the story of the baron lady before she became a concubine.

Rumors are bound to leak everywhere, but the designer himself rarely divulges the client’s work to anyone.

I am very careful because it is a matter of trust with customers.

Even if she had grown up with the help of the duchy, she would have been cautious about telling me about this.

She must have guessed that the opponent was the Crown Prince.

He must have known that the long-awaited reputation and store could completely collapse.

“Thank you. I’ll try to find out, being careful not to mention your name.”

“thank you.”

The designer bowed his head deeply and returned to the store with his clothes full of pins.

For several days from today, all the staff at the store, including her, will be frantically working on repairs.

After a while, the butler came in.

“Master, there was a report from the servant that the master’s complexion was not good, but the designer did something rude.”

“No. She was really good.”

I took a small breath.

“I heard that someone who appears to be the Crown Prince’s attendant once ordered a dress for a woman who looked a lot like Catherine.”

“It’s the story of the baron lady.”

“No, I heard it was before that.”

“…”

“Anyway, the crown prince’s obsession seems unusual.”

When I told the designer’s story, the butler’s face became serious.

“I knew that the crown prince’s play with women was serious, but I didn’t think that it would lead to his wife. It seems that the royal family deliberately hid women who resembled her. If not, there is no way that such things would not go viral.”

“I think so too.”

“I need to strengthen my wife’s surroundings even more.”

“It would be nice.”

The butler left saying he was talking to the person in charge of the escort, and I quietly looked out the window.

It’s not just that the Crown Prince’s behavior is offensive.

His actions made me feel a bit ominous.

Finding a woman who resembles the person you like and dressing up like her.

That’s what Oscar did in the novel.

‘Somehow… it’s reversed.’

In this world, Oscar and Robert are interchanged.

‘It’s probably because of me.’

If so, will he do what I should have done in this world?

I don’t know.

Unlike Oscar, Robert is the crown prince of this country.

There is no need to rebel, nor can you.

If you think like that, there’s no way the story will develop the same way as in the novel.

Even if the things I prepared can’t stop the invasion of the steppes, they will serve as a shield to stop it in the early stages before many people die.

What I have done so far is not in vain.

Destruction can be prevented with minimal damage.

“…”

But why am I so anxious?

My heart doesn’t calm down and I keep running.

The pounding pulse felt like the footsteps of approaching doom.

It seems that someone is laughing.

Can the future be prevented by mere human power?

‘If only Robert and I were reversed.’

So, if Prince Robert is in love with Catherine, then the person standing on the other side of Catherine is.

‘Rene.’

That’s my ex-wife.

The sound of the door opening resounded quietly.

The butler spoke from behind.

“While in the royal capital, I decided to double my wife’s escort. I left the countermeasures at the banquet to Countess Becker and the lady-in-waiting of Mrs. Becker. I will not leave your side for a moment.”

“…”

Pooh the rhino runs through the trees.

Normally, seeing his innocence made me feel at ease, but now it didn’t work at all.

I looked out the window and opened my mouth.

“Put guards around the Crown Prince. And… Renee, around her too.”

“…”

“If you feel like you’re doing something out of the normal flow, let me know right away.”

“What if I don’t have time to inform?”

It is a question of how far action is allowed.

I clenched my fists.

Fingernails dig into palms.

“If the woman wants to harm Katrin, and you have to make an immediate decision on the spot, then take care of it yourself.”
